AERTSEN, Pieter (b. 1508, Amsterdam, d. 1575, Amsterdam) Market Woman with Vegetable Stall 1567 Oil on wood, 11 x 110 cm Staatliche Museen, Berlin The painting demonstrates a wide range of agricultural products, made possible by the improvements in production methods. Offering her fruits and vegetables, the woman is almost an appendage to her produce. Despite all exaggeration, the picture quite adequately shows the new economic prosperity of the time. At the same time, however, it still contains a background scene in genre style of embracing lovers in a stable, thus relating the paint
AERTSEN, Pieter (b. 1508, Amsterdam, d. 1575, Amsterdam) Market Woman with Vegetable Stall 1567 Oil on wood, 11 x 110 cm Staatliche Museen, Berlin The painting demonstrates a wide range of agricultural products, made possible by the improvements in production methods. Offering her fruits and vegetables, the woman is almost an appendage to her produce. Despite all exaggeration, the picture quite adequately shows the new economic prosperity of the time. At the same time, however, it still contains a background scene in genre style of embracing lovers in a stable, thus relating the painting to late medieval peasant satires. Peasants were regarded as lustful, sensuous and carnal by the middle classes. --- Keywords: -------------- Author: AERTSEN, Pieter Title: Market Woman with Vegetable Stall Time-line: 1501-1550 School: Flemish Form: painting Type: still-life
